Attack windshield is cold compared to the low shield I got for my GT, my friend said he was cold when we did some lake running this past weekend but I was fine. When we swaped on the trail my hands, neck and two spots on my chest were cold at trail speeds after 5-10min of riding. The Attack and ER shield has two dips which seem to funnel the wind right at you which is not the case with the optional low shield.
 

Give that man a Cigar!! You're absolutly correct Four Stroker.......those "funnels" really do send the wind ripping into your chest.

The stock windshield is a very cold windshield!! I was trying to get the tall windshield for my Attak... but heard that it will be some time before anyone has them. So I ordered.. and just received... the OEM "Medium" windshield for my Attak. I can tell just by looking at it that it will be a LOT warmer.

I had to get something taller.....even if it was only 2 inches.
 
the medium is much warmer. I put one on my RTX and it was as good as my SXr.
 
It's higher, i think they classify it as 12" high. But it seems like more. It has "wings" that block the wind from your hands.

It doesn't look too good though. At least not on my RTX. i took it off and chose to suffer with the stock windshield and installed powermadd hand gaurds which helped greatly.
 
The normal way that sheilds are messured is 90 deg.(straight down) from the middle/ top of the wind sheild to the top of dash in a straight line downwards.Mine is 12.5" now messured that way.Like to know what the mid one messures??
 
The one I have looks great it is solid black and is refered to as a low shield its nice and cozy at -10c at 60mph+ no cold spots on my back, or strange wind noise and my hands are well sheltered. It has been a mild winter so far and most rides so far have been with mechanics cold weather gloves -5c and warmer and my hands stay warm.

How much higher and wider is the medium sheild compared to the stock Attak one?Thanx.

Zip.....I don't have the exact measurements, but if you do have the Attak with the "standard issue" windshield.........those funnels are gone on this medium windshield. Plenty of protection for me.......I'm 5'8" and I would guess the top of the shield will be about "chin" level. The sides are nice & wide.......no more funnels.


Looks like this will be the most protection for a while. But then again......the way this weather has been!!! We won't need any protection!!

I thought the attack came with a mid windshield?

Thats what I thought last month, but the stock ER/Attak is shorter by an inch or 2 from the optional MID, and the tall part of the stocker is much narrower too. My helmet is very warm, so where the stocker gets me is in the shoulders, very cold!
 
i have mid shield on my gt and is cold on high speed run's ok when in the wood's. ordered tall shield but on back order till feb 6. it's going to be a cold winter this year.
